Julian Hall, The Independent, 26th June 2014Dawn French '30 Million Minutes' review
The trouble with giving out a 5-star review is that you're suggesting nothing of that genre could top the production you're reviewing. But thankfully, I don't have that issue with Dawn French's first solo tour, 30 Million Minutes - it's in a genre of its own and yes, it is hard to imagine a production that could beat this.
